Oct. 18, 2019

To keep engine run well, it is not enough to know about the fault code, but also need to know the possible reasons and reaction, which can quickly solve the problems. In this part, we mainly talk about Volvo TAD Series generator engine fault code register.


Fault Code Register

 

No faults (code 2.0.0)

 

Engine speed sensor, camshaft (code 2.1.1, PID190)


Possible reason:

• Faulty sensor, connector or cable.

• Incorrect distance to cam wheel.

• High frequency interference.

Reaction: Engine is shut off.


Action:

• Check that the engine speed sensor is installed with the correct distance to the camshaft.

• Check the cables for the engine speed sensor for breaks and short circuits.

• Check the connector for poor contact.

• Check sensor function. Change the sensor as necessary.

 

Overspeed (Code 2.1.4, PID190)

 

Possible reason: The engine speed is or has been higher than the permissible.

Reaction: Fuel injection ceases and the fault code lamp lights up until the engine speed falls below the permissible limit again.


Action:

• Check the control rod for the injection pumps.

• Check the actuator, replace it if necessary.

• Check the cables for the actuator for breaks and short circuits.

• Check the number of teeth on the camshaft wheel.

• For VE engines, it may be necessary to check the function of the “limp home” mode.
